The tonic and alteratiye properties Of Ayers
Sarsaparilla are too well known to require the

A Roseburg correspondent writes the Ore
| gonian: Thomas Farquar, of this city, IS beat
ing California all hollow on peaches this season.
His peaches are nearly, if not quite, as large
again as California peaches, and are fully as
fine fayored. Roseburg climate can't be beat
for fruit and vegetables.
Charlie Wilson'S railroad crew on Mondays
trip to Portland were presented with a jug ot
buttermilk at Goshen, OF which they drank
freely The result was that all were taken
i'll and went into Portland very sick lot, the
genial conductor being forced to lay over one

The Oregonian printed mammoth edition

mental picture Of Spokane Falls. This is the
largest daily edition Of any paper printed on
the northwest coast. 1t gives a thorough

enterprise is commendablc
a good town is one in which the farmer
spends his money with the home merchant,
the laborers spend the money they earn with
tradesmen, where the feeling and good will
of every citizen is in sympathy with home in
dustries, and where every article that can be

B. Wilcox Of Pullman Washington Territory,
formerly in the law office OF C.. Ball in this
city met sad and sudden death lew days
ago by horse running away with him in a
cart, aud the cart upsettins and dragging him
to death. Charlie has many friends here
who are sad indeed to here Of his sudden de.
mise. He was a rising young lawyer just in
the morning or life, and had been married but
a short time. He was elected to the legisla
turc from this county in 1852, and was good
representative Of the people. 1t is sad in
decd to have to chronicle his sudden death.
The Southern Pacific intends to absorb all
lines within its range Of operations. 1t has
not only drawn In the Oregon & California,
cast and west side, and the Naraow Gauge in

party were elected directors of the South
Pacific Coast railroad company. Soon the
Southern Pacific will own pretty much all Of
value south of the Columbia running north
andxsouth, and all of any particular value

course many rivals. In the former il has but
few, except by sea as IN the case of the 0. r.
